Peter, if we 'free-up' our minds to think wider than our conventional sciences based 'unconventionality' (as applied on this list frequently) and recognize the unlimited Everything in the complexity of the wholeness we end up in (my?) agnosticism: We know only part of the total, visualize WITHIN our mind-restricted imaging and formulate 'models' of the already known world (already: because it widened by newer input historically as we 'learn'). The totality's inter influenceing results in changing relations - partly followable - acknowledged by the part of our 'then' knowledge. In such view "Random" is "I don't know", Chaos is: "I don't know" and stochastic is sort of a random. What conventional science does is a compromise into the "almost": our technology is "almost perfect", some planes fall off from the sky, some sicknesses/wars break out, some genetic mishaps occur, some theories fail, etc. etc. Compromising means to invent cute factors that enhance a match (at least mathematically) in cases of trouble. Presumptions make assumptions and vice versa, in endless series and at the end it is believed as a fact.
Deterministic? there is SOME order that keeps the world churning, applying ALL relational changes in the wholeness including ALL ingredients of the Everything. We don't know what are such 'ingredients' only the imagined 'model-substitutions' we use in our limited knowledge. We don't know what kind of alterations the relations in the unlimited totality may undergo, we only experience SOME and interpret them within our figment (physical world). Presumably - and now I use this word as well <G> - there is an order in the wholeness and this encompasses all the totality in the alterations of the relationships - so I feel justified to use the word 'deterministic'. Not to "understand" it, though. In limbo - you say: be my guest. We cannot overstep our capabilities and think only within our models. By human logic, which has no claim to be the general characteristic of nature (the totality). We think human. Me, too. A bit stepping further seems to be allowed in 'anticipation' what I just study how to get to it, on the bases of Robert Rosen and Mihai Nadin. I am not there yet. Rules, mathematical formula, quantum science, physics, other conventional sciences: all figments of the human mind how to explain the partial phenomena we 'accepted' over the time of our existence here on Earth. One more obstacle: users of different vocabularies cannot effectively argue with each other, the meaning of the words is different. Bruno has a vocabulary, conventional sciences use another one, my concepts are differently identified, religions have their own versions, every one understands arguments within their own vocabulary - the rest is 'stupid'.
